The effect of a salient visual feature in orienting spatial attention was examined as a function of the learned association between the visual feature and the observer's action. During an initial acquisition phase, participants learned that two keypress actions consistently produced red and green visual cues. Next, in a test phase, participants' actions… (More)

We examined the prioritization of a salient feature immediately after an observer performs an action. Previous work suggests that sensory salience is reduced for a feature that results from the observer's own action (i.e., self-caused) compared to a feature that is independent of the observer's action (i.e., externally caused). Similar to how difficult it… (More)
